Contemporary Fluid Acrylic Paintings

I came to the Bay Area from the midwest after receiving my BFA. I was drawn to the Bay Area Figurative Painters, especially Joan Brown and Nathan Oliveira. Other painters who are important to me are Helen Frankenthaler, Joan Mitchell and Mark Rothko. I continued my professional training in San Francisco at the Art Institute and the De Young Museum, I also married, had children and maintained a career. My husband and I moved to Sonoma County, a beautiful inspiring area with the Pacific coast, mountains and rolling vineyards. Below is my career path.
